[Verse 1]
[Am]Signifying
monkey told a lie,
one day there's [G]a b[Am]ad motherfucker
com[G]ing [Am]down your way
Talked about your mama [G]and [Am]your sister
Lou, [G]talked [Am]about how good
that [G]your [Am]grandma's food
[G]He [Am]talked about your [Em]uncle
and your [Am]sissy brother
Joe, [G]said he'd [Am]think you eat pussy
but [G]he was[Am]n't [G]for [D]sure[Bm][D][Am][A]

[Am]The lion took off [C]like a m[Am]ighty breeze,
knockin' coconuts down
and giraffes to the knees.
[G]He cam[Am]e up on the elephant
and said, say, [G]big,
bad [Am]motherfucker,
I heard some shit about you,
about all these bad thing[G]s
that you're [Am]supposed to do.
The elephant looked at the lion
[G]out the [Am]corner of his eye
He [G]said, [Am]please, Mr. Lion,
pick [G]on some[Am]body your size
[G]The [Am]lion jumped up and
[G]made a [Am]fancy pass
[G]And the [Am]elephant kicked him
right [G]square [Am]in his ass
[G]The [Am]lion roared [G]and swun
[Am]g from the ground
[G]And the [Am]elephant knocked his big ass
right back [C]down[D][Am][D][Bm][Am][A][Em]
[Am][A][D][Em][D][G][Em][Am]
[D][Em]
[Am]The Lion went back through the jungle
more dead than alive
[G]An [Am]d that's when the monkey
[Em]really [G]star[Am]ted his jive
[G]Say, I [Am]thought you called your[G]self
[Am]the Jungle King
[G]I f[Am]ound out you a[G]in't a g[Am]oddamn thing
[Em]My o[G]ld l[Am]ady told me befor[G]e you l[Am]eft
[G]I c[Am]ould probably kick your ass,
[G]my mother [Am]fuck[C]in' [D]slept[Bm][D][Am]
[A][D][Em][A][Em][D][G]
[Am][Em]
[Am]The monkey got happy
and [C]started [Am]jumping up [Bb]and down
[G]His [Am]left foot missed the limb
and his ass [A]hit the ground
[G]Like a s[A]tag of lightning
[Am]and [G]a ba[Am]ll of heat
[G]The [Am]lion was on the monkey
with all four feet
[G]The[Am] monkey cri[A]ed, please, Mr. Lion[G],
let [Am]my nuts off the st[A]and
And [G]I'll [Am]stand back and fight
you like [G]a n[Am]atural man
[G]The lion backed up[Am],
[G]all [Am]ready to fight
[G]The [Am]monkey said, bye, motherfucker,[G]
and [Am]ran dead o[G]utta s[D]ight[Am][D][Bm]
[G][A][D][Em][D][A][Em][D]
[G]
